The latest Insteon plug-in module, I/O Linc, lets you monitor and control any low voltage devices such as alarm sensors, electric door strikes, and contact closures as part of your Insteon home automation network. With one dry-contact sensor input you can control many Insteon devices throughout the house. Plus, use the built-in single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch, connect any low voltage-powered device for continuous or momentary operation. Create your own remote-control door lock using an electric door strike and power supply or use a security sensor turn Insteon controlled lights on or off.

I/O Linc's flexible output relay can control many different types of low voltage devices, from pool valves to electric door strikes to garage doors due to its different relay modes. When controlling devices like pool valves, you will want the ability to leave it on for an extended period of time, giving it plenty of time to fill the pool. As it approaches the desired water level, then you can remotely turn it off. For devices like electric door strikes, set I/O Linc's output relay to momentary, allowing you open the front gate using a RemoteLinc or any other Insteon controller. A third version of I/O Linc's momentary mode allows you to remotely press your garage door button with an Insteon On command, but only if your garage is currently closed. This allows you to open your garage with On command and close it with an Off command. Because I/O Linc uses a garage door sensor to know whether the door is open or closed, it only controls the garage when it needs to.

Controlling Two Separate Loads
With the addition of a DPDT Relay Board, the I/O Linc is capable of switching two separate loads on and off together. In this configuration, the I/O Linc could control two different loads of varying voltages (i.e. one high voltage and one low voltage load) or two higher current loads (up to 7A @30VDC each).

Needed more parts to get this up and running namely a range extender to convert from wired to wireless communication. once the Extender was installed it communicated perfectly with my Hub.

Not compatible with Hub Pro Review by James

Although it worked to complete the door strike setup, this device is NOT compatible with the Hub Pro. Would REALLY like to have this updated to work with that.

Does what I need but falls short Review by Andrew

Bought two of these to control my home theatre curtain: one to open, one to close. It's unfortunate that I needed two for this purpose, and even more so that they frequently miss commands from the Insteon Hub, leaving the curtain open after an automated show or failing to open the curtain at the start of a movie. All my other Insteon components (several dimmers and on/off outlets) work well, so I think I'm experiencing some of the same problems here as others have.

Thrilled it finally works... Review by Sorebikr

Was actually very difficult and frustrating to install. My set-up: Insteon low-voltage interface, new hub and 3/4" shutoff valve. After installing...nothing. Was is the wiring? The android software on my phone? Very tough to trouble shoot. Turns out my I/O wasn't plugged into an outlet that was on the same phase as the hub. Same phase? That was news to me. Turns out the I/O communicates with the hub over your house' wiring, not over wifi. Which means only certain outlets will work in the house.

Eventually, after an hour on the phone with support we were able to get it working, and I LOVE it. But still...

I am really disappointed that I/O Linc doesn't support international users (220V/50Hz
)

One failed within a week but the other works perfectly Review by Luke

I am using this to monitor and control my garage door. Installation was easy and it worked great at first. However, the device quit communicating with the Hub after a week. It would respond to commands but wouldn't report the status of the door to the Hub. I know it isn't an issue with noise or being on the wrong phase on my wiring because it doesn't work even on the same outlet.

I replaced it with another I/O Linc I had lying around and it once again works perfectly.

Works just as stated by Insteon. I use it as a two way interface with my Honeywell security system. Insteon wireless door switches are used as input to the security system and the security system intrusion alarm activates selected Insteon lighting.
The only negative is setting the output relay mode (1 of 4 modes). It is confusing and difficult.
Over all, this is a very good product

Avoid Smarthome products like the plague. Smarthome/Insteon warranty WILL NOT BE honored unless purchase directly from them or apparently their own super-secret list of retailers. You'll only find out about this list if you request warranty service for a malfunctioning product when they refuse to honor the warranty. Their warranty is meaningless. This is certainly an extremely poor way to do business. DON'T WALK, RUN AWAY!!
